Blind Assessment
Sweetly citrusy, floral-toned. Violet, pink grapefruit, baking chocolate, fresh-cut fir, cane sugar in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart structure with brisk acidity; crisp, satiny mouthfeel. The quiet finish consolidates to notes of pink grapefruit and fresh-cut fir.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers surrounding METAD's Hambela Estate from selections of indigenous landrace varieties of Arabica long grown in the region, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Old World Coffee Roasters is a specialty coffee roaster with cafes in Reno and Carson City, Nevada. Visit OldWorldCoffeeRoasters.com for more information.
Bottom Line
A friendly washed-process Ethiopia cup with gently sweet notes of citrus and delicate flowers throughout, supported by rich aromatic wood notes.
